Letters to the editor: U.S. is still a Christian nation

Atheist Lee Helms showed his anti-Christian bias in his Jan 7 letter “No religious origin in our laws.” In the Declaration of Independence, drafted largely by Thomas Jefferson, references are made to God, our “Creator” and the “Supreme Judge of the World.”

The Constitution was signed on the 17th of September in the year of “our Lord” 1787. The United States was then and is now a Christian nation.

Were drugs involved?

ere not so many illegal drugs. I wonder if mass murderers were on marijuana or other illegal drugs then, or did their mothers use drugs during pregancy.

We didn’t have those drugs years ago. I believe judges should allow the publication of medical records of those convicted of murder.
